700 pounds is a small grizzly. They usually top out around 1,100 pounds. From what I’ve heard from others who know animals, the last thing you want to do with a bear is use pepper spray. A 20,000 volt hot-stick would work better. It leaves them dazed and confused long enough to find your egress.

Most our interior grizz are 300-600 lbs; dependent on food source, believe me have had them in my yard. One local had the biggest one ever seen around here killing/eating his sled dogs on chains, shot it, it was 700 lbs.

Bear along the coast lay around eating fish, getting fat; they get bigger. All tame bear I have ever seen were declawed & muzzeled.
